London's police force has been found guilty of breaking health and safety laws over the shooting dead of a Brazilian man officers mistook for a suicide bomber. Your reaction?
The Metropolitan Police unnecessarily put the public at risk in chasing Jean Charles de Menezes across the city, a jury has decided. The force was fined 175,000 and ordered to pay 385,000 costs.
Armed police shot Mr de Menezes dead at Stockwell Tube station on 22 July 2005.
The Old Bailey jury said police chief Cressida Dick, who led the operation, bore "no personal culpability".
Speaking after the verdict, Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair said he would not be resigning.
What is your reaction to the verdict? What lessons should be learnt? Should Ian Blair resign?
